Dana Tai Soon Burgess' Silk Road

The evening will feature the premiere of Silk Road, the third work in a trilogy
of dance/sculpture commissions created in collaboration by Burgess, sculptor
John Dreyfuss, lighting designer Jennifer Tipton, and costume designer Han Feng.
The work, which explores relationships between Eastern and Western cultures,
is performed by an ensemble of fifteen dancers trained in modern dance, ballet,
Indian classical, Chinese classical and traditional Middle Eastern dance. The
evening's performances will also include Helix and Mandala, Burgess' existing
critically-acclaimed works that make up the trilogy.
